Tea with Mussolini

A band of British ladies in Florence before and during the war form the interesting group on which this movie is focused on. This Frank Zefferelli film staring Cher, Joan Plowright, Lili Tomlin, Judy Dench and Maggie Smith is kind of like a book turned into a movie, but I guess it was not a book, the story/screen play was written for a movie.

It is amusing to see the antics of British ladies, because after America, the British always seem very decorous and proper. I loved Cher's and Joan Plowright's roles. A laid-back movie.
